Musk shrews were maintained from weaning (20 days of age) for 20 or 40 days in one of several social conditions. In Exp. 1, young males housed with adult females gained more weight and had heavier sex accessory organs than did young males housed with

The molecular links between membrane excitability and neurohormone synthesis were investigated using a simple model system: the bag cell neurons of Aplysia. We tested the hypothesis that the electrical afterdischarge, which leads to depletion of egg-

A single gene defect of the circadian clock (tau mutation) has recently been described that results in a shortening of the circadian activity cycle of the Syrian hamster. In the homozygous animal, free running activity is shortened by 4 h, resulting

Seasonal reproduction in the ewe is generated by an endogenous circannual rhythm of reproductive neuroendocrine activity. Exposure to as few as 70 days of photoperiodic information a year is sufficient to synchronize the rhythm. The present study was

In the first experiment, the effects of food availability on growth and reproduction were assessed by placing male musk shrews on 3 different feeding schedules, i.e. fed ad libitum, fed 50% of the amount eaten by the ad-libitum controls or fed 25% of

In Exp. 1, the time course for the photoperiodic response in juvenile male musk shrews was examined by exposing animals to short (10L:14D) or long (14L:10D or 18L:6D) daylengths for 10, 20, 40 or 56 days. When compared with the response of animals ma

In summary, photoperiod, social cues and food availability impact upon the reproductive system of the male musk shrew to alter the timing of reproductive maturation and hence opportunistic breeding. We can speculate that there might be a hierarchy to

Recent evidence indicates that the breeding season of the Suffolk ewe ends because of loss of response to a day length that was previously inductive. This condition of photorefractoriness could potentially also initiate reproduction, as is the case i

Two studies were performed to determine if the transition into anestrus in the Suffolk ewe results from the lack of a decrease in photoperiod, a signal suggested to be important in maintaining the breeding season, or from an obligatory turn-off that

The main objective of the study was to test the hypothesis that the phase of melatonin release with respect to the light-dark cycle mediates the effects of photoperiod on the reproductive response of the ewe. To test the phase hypothesis, we eliminat
